Cheong-ah Hwang is a Korean artist currently based in Ohio. She was born to parents who own a print store hence, she grew up surrounded by papers. This is how she got her inclination to play with paper and eventually make beautiful arts from them. Hwang is a self-taught artist and her pieces are made meticulously to achieve a certain 3-dimentional effect. Her sculptures usually have multiple layers of paper that are folded, cut, creased, crumpled, or embossed. The image is then presented on a flat surface like a 2-dimentional art, creating a 3D illusion by assembling the layers to show depth cues. Initially, her artworks were very expensive due to the difficulty to produce them. However, after the success of a Kickstarter campaign that she started, her arts became more accessible to a wider audience. She sold her pieces through Etsy but is currently on hiatus due to a personal project. You can view her website and Flickr to see the rest of her works. [caption id="attachment_79337"...

The world is truly a beautiful place. As graphic artists, we see the beauty everywhere we look. It inspires us. Encourages us. And helps shape the many artistic projects that endlessly flow from our own colorful minds.
Not only does the world inspire us; we inspire each other. Artists feed off of other artists’ design energy. It fuels our creativity and sparks our passion. The end result is a planet full of designs as varied in style and substance as the artists who created them. And that’s where we come in.
